Aviation Fueling Equipment

Aviation Fueling Equipment & Parts

Aviation fueling demands the highest standards of precision, safety, and contamination control. Westech Equipment carries a full range of aviation-specific fuel handling equipment designed to meet the strict requirements of airport fueling operations, FBOs (Fixed Base Operators), and military aviation fuel systems.

Our aviation equipment selection includes aviation fuel transfer pumps, bulk fuel storage aviation pumps, explosion proof engine-driven portable aviation pumps, power take-off (PTO) truck aviation pumps, coalescing filter housings and filter vessels, replacement filter elements for Velcon and Facet vessels, aviation spin-on filters, aviation positive displacement fuel meters, Weights and Measures certified positive displacement flow meters, aviation electronic registers, mechanical registers compatible with Neptune (rebuilt) and Veeder-Root (new or rebuilt), and aviation refueling hose reels in multiple configurations — 115V AC, 12V DC, air rewind, hydraulic rewind, manual rewind, and spring rewind.

All aviation fueling products meet applicable industry standards for jet fuel and Avgas handling. Featured brands include TOPS, OPW, Hannay Reels, Liquid Controls, Cim-Tek, Velcon, and Facet. Aviation fueling is one of our growing specialty areas — if you need help specifying equipment for a new installation or upgrading an existing system, call us at 1-800-433-8831.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes aviation fueling equipment different from standard fuel equipment?
A: Aviation fueling requires stricter contamination control, specialized coalescing filtration, and equipment rated specifically for Jet-A or Avgas handling. Water and particulate contamination that might be acceptable in diesel or gasoline applications can cause catastrophic failures in aircraft engines.

Q: What type of filtration do I need for aviation fuel?
A: Aviation fueling systems typically require coalescing filter/separators that remove both water and particulate matter from jet fuel. We carry filter housings, filter vessels, replacement elements for Velcon and Facet vessels, and spin-on filters.

Q: Do I need a Weights and Measures certified meter?
A: If you're selling aviation fuel commercially, most jurisdictions require Weights and Measures certified positive displacement meters. For private operations, certification may not be required but accurate metering is still important for inventory control.

Q: What hose reel configurations are available for aviation fueling?
A: We carry aviation refueling hose reels in 115V AC electric rewind, 12V DC electric rewind, air rewind, hydraulic rewind, manual rewind, and spring rewind configurations.
